Helping college and graduate students sort out personal, social, family and/or academic concerns is my specialty. I worked as a psychologist on two college campuses before deciding that a private practice setting would allow me to offer the best care, free of the limited number of sessions I could give each student at a counseling center. I offer a free initial consult to talk together and see if we're a good fit. Usually, I can schedule those within a week of your contact with me, and after ...

You have the weight of the world on your shoulders, and have for a very long time. As a child, you had to grow up quickly and take on adult roles, because you had a parent who wasn’t always able to be fully present. Overwhelming emotional pain weighs on you. And you’ve found that the emotional pain shows up as physical pain too - a literal heartache, muscle aches, or back pain. You’ve also lost your appetite or find yourself eating more than usual. You went through something horrific. And you th...
